Join us for a Decorah North Eagle Nest live chat

With sad news we announce a new live chat with John Howe and Amy Ries of Raptor Resource Project (RRP), our partner and co-host of the Decorah Eagles North Nest. Some time last night, the youngest and smallest eaglet, DN3 or Little Bit, died in the nest.

This Friday, May 13th at 1pm PT / 4pm ET, RRP’s director John Howe and Amy Ries will join us on the Decorah Cam to answer questions about DN3’s passing and any other questions you have about the life cycle of bald eagles.

Simply tune in to the cam during the chat and type your questions in the comments section below the player! You can ask about nesting materials, egg incubation, eagle diet, how the chicks learn to fly, or anything and everything else raptor-related!

Do you have any concerns about contamination of food sources there from pesticides, fertilizers, or other chemicals ? Can you check the egg shells for this after the birds have left the nest ?

Why is it that the male was seen feeding the eaglets, but he actually had no food in his beak! This happened on more than one occasion.

i do believe he was providing fluid from his beak. he did that before and it showed salixa being passed

Thanks so much!

Have just logged on after two days away from the discussion and am very sad to read about Little Bit. I’m not really surprised and guess it was inevitable but am very sad. At least the two big brothers should have a great chance of doing well now.

Tracy Murray
